Swindle's impression would be correct. Maybe he should see if he can cultivate Screwdriver as a crew member. Actually, just showing up in this ship might be enough to do that. Swindle's junk will bring all the Junks to the yard.
Once they're done with the house tour, Noah tosses a datadisk up and catches it. "Got your command codes here. Now, about the rest if what you owe us...."
Because really, that info Swindle gave Noah at breakfast was just a teaser.

Screwedriver can be the princess, since she already thinks she is one. Duskwing can be the idealistic kid, and Cannonball can be the hairy sidekick. Frenzy and Ravage will be the bickering robots. Or possibly Starscream and Scourge. The Decepticons have lots of robots to choose from, and most of them bicker.
Swindle catches the disc with the codes and pockets it in his subspace. He'll read it once he has time to check it for viruses. "I'm in the habit of not making full payment up front, sight unseen. I'm sure you understand," the merchant says, producing a second datadisk and handing it to Noah.
As soon as he's alone on this ship he's sweeping it for bugs. He'll be almost insulted if there aren't any.

Oh there will be bugs. There will be some glaringly obvious bugs and some insidiously hidden bugs, and even once Swindle has gotten them all, he will have to wonder, What did I miss?
Noah takes the second datadisk and slips it into that same breast pocket where he placed the other one. "Of course. It's a very sound business practice."
"Looks like you lot are heading toward Earth. It's not so bad, for a child planet, but it does seem to be quite the lynchpin," Noah shrugs, "You might want to look us up when you're there. Primaria Technologies."
One corner of Noah's lips quirk up, "Kao-Nic Tech might be worth a look as well. Maybe Blackrock... but he's a bit volatile. At any rate, enjoy your ship Swindle."
"We'll meet up again, I'm sure."
Noah turns and will walk off, leaving Swindle to sweep his ship in peace, unless for some reason he is called back.

Swindle's carefully trained smile doesn't falter when he hears that Primatech is already on Earth, as well as something that sounds suspiciously like 'Kaon.' Inwardly, he's reeling. There are already other non-native sentients on Earth?
But that means he won't get in on the ground floor of the new market! What if someone has already started selling plasma cannons to the humans?
"Right, see you around, Noah," he says out loud, winking and 'shooting' the Man in the Horn-Rimmed Glasses with one hand.
OOC: Wrappit?
